AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #570
It's the Spider-Fight of the century: SPIDER-MAN versus VENOM versus ANTI-VENOM! Who will be the last web-slinger standing? The guy with radioactive spider-blood? The man with the original symbiote? Or...hold on...just who or what is Anti-Venom anyway?! Also: a regular Spidey cast member falls prey to Menace! And Aunt May sees a suspiciously secret side of the F.E.A.S.T. center...
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #571
How do you top last week's Spider-Mano-a-mano-a-mano? How about with an all-goblin throwdown?! It's the true goblin taking on the new goblin as NORMAN OSBORN squares off against MENACE! Also: more SPIDEY/THUNDERBOLTS action! And one of Spider-Man's greatest foes finally uncovers one of his best kept secrets...
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #572
Bullseye and the Thunderbolts target Spider-Man...in a way he's never been targeted before! Also: Oscorp's secret scandal, but who's behind it? Harry or Norman? And a classic Spider-Man foe returns to the fold! Spider-Man's Brand New Day is over, and now all that's left for him are NEW WAYS TO DIE!
The thirteen-year-old, who chose this title, seems to like it, which isn't surprising. The surprising thing is how much I've been liking it. I don't think Spidey is ever going to make it onto one of my favorite character lists, but this is a fun read.
CAPTAIN AMERICA #42
The final chapter of the epic "Death of Captain America" saga is here! The New Captain America, the Falcon, the Black Widow, Sharon Carter - all in a final showdown with the Red Skull and his minions for the future of America!
Again, of course. Still loving this book more than chocolate.
CAPTAIN BRITAIN AND MI13 #5
Blade is back. And what is Lady Jacqueline Falsworth to him, except another dead vampire? Plus: Excalibur in the suburbs, the tears of a Skrull and tea with Union Jack.
Cool, a Union Jack appearance! :)
MARVEL ADVENTURES THE AVENGERS #28
It's always tough when your parents don't like the girl you're dating, but it's even rougher if you happen to be Thor, son of Odin! Worse, Odin sets Thor up on a date with a Frost Giant's daughter! When Thor ditches her to sneak away on a date with Storm, it's up to rest of the Avengers to cover for him.
Sounds like one the kids will like.
SECRET INVASION #6 (of 8)
EMBRACE CHANGE! With these words, the Skrulls have made their intentions clear but not everyone thinks they sound all that bad. Which heroes and icons are hell-bent on defending the Earth from the invasion, and who thinks a new era has dawned for mankind? The final double-page spread of this issue will send chills down your spine, and that is a promise!!
Sounds interesting. Not exciting, interesting. But interesting is good.
MIGHTY AVENGERS #18
INTRODUCING NICK FURY'S SECRET WARRIORS! Do you have what it takes to be trained by the greatest agent in the world? Well, do you? Well, you probably don't, but thankfully he has gathered new heroes who just might!
More Nick Fury is always good!
NEW AVENGERS #45
If the Skrulls have infiltrated us for years preparing for the INVASION, then what happened to them during the legendary HOUSE OF M event? Find out here in another huge chapter in the Secret Invasion story packed with shocking reveals.
Well, I'm getting it...but really, I don't much care about what happened to this year's big event guest stars during the last big event...
AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE #17
NEW CLUES TO MUTANT ZERO'S IDENTITY AND AN AVENGER RETURNS!
Camp Hammond has been overrun, not just by the occupying Skrull army, but by the SKRULL QUEEN, herself! Well guess what? That's just what the SHADOW INITIATIVE wanted! Join MUTANT ZERO, TRAUMA, BENGAL, CONSTRICTOR, and ANT-MAN as they try this war's most dangerous mission: to take out the SKRULL-SPIDER-WOMAN! That IS why you stayed behind, right ANT-MAN? Also: As 3-D MAN and the KILL KREW carve a green, bloody swath across America, their numbers continue to grow. And in this issue, a classic AVENGER signs up-- and joins the AVENGERS: INITIATIVE ongoing cast!
I think that's the most capital letters in a single solicitation this month. That's not a good thing, btw.
DEADPOOL #1 & #2
The Merc with a Mouth is back, even deadlier and more deranged than before! The planet has been invaded by Skrulls, everything’s gone topsy-turvy...but, in Deadpool’s world, that just means it’s Monday! Crazy times call for crazy men, but c’mon, this guy’s insane! Like it or not, Deadpool may be the only person on the planet who can save us...but who’s to say he wants to? Deadpool: His madness is his method! You won’t want to miss it!
Easily the most anticipated title of the year around our house!
SHE-HULK #33
He may have helped Nova and the Guardians save the universe twice, but now the Super-Skrull is out for blood...the blood of his own daughter! Can She-Hulk prevent the murder of her partner, or will Jazinda’s infamous father use this summer’s alien invasion to do his dirty work?
Usually decent. No plans to drop at this point.
PATSY WALKER: HELLCAT #3 (of 5)
Patsy Walker is in WAY over her head. As the sole member of the Initiative supporting Alaska, you’d think she’d have an easy time. You’d be wrong. She’s on a mission to find the heir to the magical shamanic realm of Attakpanik, but she's closer to sinking the whole continental shelf and taking Tony Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D. down with her.
Well, it sounds as if Patsy is being presented as not entirely competent. Which is a decent potential storyline--the hero learning to master his/her abilities and eventually pulling through against odds--but only when it's a relatively new hero. Patsy has been around since the 70s, you know? Well, we'll see.
MOON KNIGHT #22
“THE DEATH OF MARC SPECTOR,” PART 2
With Tony Stark forced onto the sidelines, Norman Osborn has been tapped to bring in the fugitive super hero -- by all means necessary. That’s right, True Believer, the Thunderbolts are on the hunt...and Moon Knight’s their game. They know his name and address, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find Marc Spector, should it? Guess again.
You know, I don't think I'm liking this book as much as I did at first, but it's still a good read.
MS. MARVEL #31
In the days following the Secret Invasion, there is a death in the family. Brian Reed (SECRET INVASION: SPIDER-MAN) and Marcos Marz (Batman) begin the tale of Ms. Marvel's new life post-Secret Invasion.
Whoa, post-Secret Invasion? Isn't that supposed to be going on for, like, the rest of the year?
MS. MARVEL ANNUAL 1
It's a Brand New Day as Ms. Marvel and the Amazing Spider-Man cross paths. Can they settle their own differences and save Manhattan from menacing mechanized malcontents? Only Brian Reed (SECRET INVASION: FRONT LINE) and Mark Robinson (CREDIT) know for sure!
Ms. Marvel and Spider-Man have differences? I gather this is yet another Inititative-vs-non thing, and Carol actually has a decent record of focusing on the villains in these situations, overall.
RUNAWAYS #2
The kids are back in town, and LA will never be the same. They’ve set up new digs in Malibu, but will they be able to keep it from being destroyed the first day? The remains of Runaway Karolina’s alien race has come to Earth to get revenge for the millions who died on their homeworld. And they’re pointing their fingers at Karolina and Xavin.
I hope this is good, because we'll have three issues of it ordered by the time we get one.
YOUNG X-MEN #6
One Young X-Man (or X-Woman, we're not telling!) is dead! But there are still more than ten mutants (you read that right) vying for membership on the team. Who will be left to carry on the X-Torch? Marc (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, Eli Stone) Guggenheim and Yanick (ULTIMATE X-MEN) Paquette aren't telling -- except in this self-contained issue perfect for new readers!
Everyone seems to like this one so far.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE DEATH OF CAPTAIN AMERICA VOL. 2 — THE BURDEN OF DREAMS TPB
“Beloved comic book hero Captain America is back in action, armed and ready to fight for freedom in the 21st century.” — abcnews.com
Agent 13. Bucky Barnes. The Falcon. Black Widow. Iron Man. Steve Rogers was often the glue that bound these heroes together in common cause. Now, in the aftermath of his death, they come together again in a desperate attempt to keep his dream alive. But the collapse of Steve Roger’s dream was just the first step in the wicked machinations of the Red Skull, who is determined to see the death of America follow soon after the death of the Captain. As the Skull's master plan kicks into motion, and chaos begins to take hold of the United States, only one man stands in its way — but is he up to the task? Collecting CAPTAIN AMERICA #31-36.
Didn't I order a Cap trade just a few months ago? Not that I'm complaining, mind you.
